Shake your Merrymaker=]

Comment by Aluudra

it kinda makes me mad that you have to be a 325 cook in order to get this achievement. What if i didn't wanna be a cook, and now i'm screwed out of a title/drake because of a decision i made not to cook. I think the gourmet one should be taken out of the title requirements, not everyone wants to cook :P

Comment by Hoshi

I am very sadened by this achievement, I'm not going to be able to get it on any of my characters.

I love the whole xmas event in wow, but this has been completely cheapened by this, who cares about a poxy flying mount I got os many characters I want the title on I couldn't care about the mount.

Comment by Persen

What if I didn't want to PvP?Didn't want to get a flying mount?

Your argument fails. Achievements have their requirements for a reason.

Comment by Junyed

Well, except from laziness, but we all know that no one on the internet is lazy.

Comment by Deluxo90

U will get them by opening presents that are placed under the Christmass tree in Orgimmar, or Ironforge

Comment by Hypotenuse

If you want to complete this achievement make sure that you have 325 cooking and you are attuned with Ogri'la before it's too late :P

Comment by Sklaninhaos

As much fun as I had bringing myself into respect with Ogrila and the entire quest chain prior and raising my cooking from 0 to 325 in the last week, I am excited to say that I've done it and look forward to my reward. To those that think it is impossible or just expect things to be given to them, how much fun would that be? Use this guide (http://www.elsanglin.com/) for fishing and take some time to relax! Good luck!

I have taken up cooking just to get the cooking achievement here. Right now all that i miss is the Crashin' & Trashin' achievement but that's because its only the 22nd of December right now :) I leveled my cooking to 325 (or a few skill levels higher, idk) in just 3 days. Its not impossible. If you really want to get the proto drake in 1 year, just go for it! You CAN do it.

Comment by Hunterios

3 days? Took me only one, it's that easy.

Always used to have an alt with cooking but I'm pretty happy I got it on my main now aswell. This achievement is one of the best for world Events. Not to many, not to hard, and all are very helpful!

Comment by xnineone

Anyone know how this title will display on your char? Just wondering, guess we'll know in a few days anyways. Just seems like "Merrymaker <char name>" will sound a little weird. Or maybe it'll be like Hallows End and be "<char name> the Merrymaker"...

Comment by Giofa

For the record, if you are a Bloodsail Admiral and don't have 325 cooking and aren't neutral with gadget you're pretty much boned for the achi this year...

Comment by Giofa

My servers economy sucks so its kinda hard for Trollbane.

Comment by bombcar

I have this title as Horde at level 70 - the only hard part was the zeppelin - the dying trick worked great.

Comment by jaxsonbateman

This is not meant as a gloating post, but rather to inform people. This achievement is ridiculously easy.

I was able to do all but the Crashin and Trashin achievement within the first 3 hours of Winter Veil (I had 'He Knows If You've Been Naughty' from last year), and Crashin and Thrashin took about 5 minutes on Christmas day.

If you haven't already gotten this achievement done and would like to do it, you will have plenty of time until the closing hours of Winter Veil!

To complete Bros. Before Ho Ho Ho's, you have to give mistletoe to Brother Keltan, who's on a large ship which circulates around Icecrown. To do this as anything under level 77 (when you can't use a flying mount in Northrend), follow these instructions:

1. Acquire Mistletoe by typing /kiss to a Winter Reveler, which are in any major city and in fact, in any minor city.

2. Go to here via having a warlock summon you (use the following command if you don't know a Warlock: /who Warlock Icecrown).

3. Have a Blood Specced Death Knight kill you with Hysteria (find one in the same way you found a Warlock: /who Death Knight Icecrown). You can do this with other classes, but a Blood DK makes it the easiest to die in the right spot. If you're a Warlock, just hellfire until you die.

4. When you die, you'll receive a death flying mount. Fly back to your body and fly up as high as possible before the Resurrect Now? button disappears. Wait until the airship comes around (It's displayed on your map), land on one of the cannon things, and resurrect.

Don't forget to tip your Warlock and Death Knight who helped you out ;)

Comment by Gduff

that is a good question...why was it downrated...although now with the new BoA book for cold weather flying it makes it easier to get there for ppl under 77

Comment by INvShika

Note: Crashin' and Thrashin' has been removed from the meta-achievement due to the fact that it was the 2008 gift, much like the Clockwork Rocket Bot was the 2007 gift.

Edit: Stop downrating useful information >:(

Comment by brionl

For people who don't have 325 cooking skill, make sure you log in during Pilgrim's Bounty and do all the quests to raise your cooking. You can get to 300 by buying recipes & ingredients from the holiday vendors, and up to at least 325 by hunting turkeys and cooking them.

You probably make a couple of gold net cash, but there is a lot of traveling involved.

Comment by jackayman

I have a question... if i am a Bloodsail Admiral can i still get this one?, a friend of mine tell me that you can't but i wanna make sure of that, i hope any of you can tell me :D

Comment by Draleth

This "guide" or what ever it is, is $%^&, dont let the guide fool you, like it fooled me. The "Bro's before ho ho ho's" Cheeve is not "crossfaction", if you're horde, use mistletoe on fellow horde bro's, if you're ally, use the mistletoe on ally bro's. I spent te better part of an hour raging on Brother Malach in the Undercity because it didn't work... F U this guide.

How the Mammoths Stole Winterveil

Every ToonDown in I.F.Liked Winterveil a lot...

But the Mounts,Who lived just North of IF,Did NOT!

The Mounts hated Winterveil! The whole Winterveil season!Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.It could be that their riders weren't sitting quite right.It could be, perhaps, that their reins were too tight.But I think that the most likely reason of allWas because their little mount hearts were two sizes too small.

But,Whatever the reason,Their Ride or his Reins,They stood there on Winter's Eve, glowering with pains,Staring down from his cave with a sour, mammothy frownAt the forge lighted windows below in their town.For they knew every Toon down in I.F. beneathWas busy now, killing the big nasty Greench.

"And they're mogging their armor!" they snarled with a sneer."Tomorrow is Winterveil! It's practically here!"Then they growled, with their mammoth hooves nervously drumming,"I MUST find a way to keep Presents from coming!"For, tomorrow, they knew...

...All the Toon girls and boysWould wake up bright and early. They'd port for their toys!And then! Oh, the noise! Oh, the noise! Noise! Noise! Noise!That's one thing he hated! The NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! NOISE!

Then the Toons, young and old, would get all the achvs.And they'd Ding! And they'd Ding!And they'd DING! DING! DING! DING!Their friends would say "grats", and they'd get a new Feat.Which was something the mounts didn't think very neat!

And THENThey'd do something mounts liked least of all!Every Toon down in I.F., the tall and the small,Would stand close together, with Winter bells ringing.They'd lay out a train set. And the Toons would start screaming!

They'd chug! And they'd chug!AND they'd CHOO! CHOO! CHOO! CHOO!And the more the mounts thought of the Iron-Forge-ScreamThe more they all thought, "I must stop this whole thing!"Why for fifty-three patches I've put up with it now!I MUST stop Winterveil from coming!...But HOW?"
